Wouldn’t it be great if you could just pick your partners based on sympathy scores? We did – and will be working with the Australian triathlete Cameron Wurf in the future. The term “triathlete” falls quite short for a man with a history like his though. “Multisport talent” describes it probably more aptly. After all, Wurf started as a rower at the Olympic Games, rode the Giro d’Italia twice as a professional cyclist and won the title in the individual time trial at the Oceania Championships.

Now triathlon it is. Cameron Wurf has been a professional triathlete since 2016, went directly for long-distance races – and did so with great success, especially with two Ironman wins: in Wales in 2017 and last May in Australia. His showcase discipline – which is not a surprise considering that he is a former cycling pro – is the bike split! And this is exactly where gebioMized and STAPS come into play. Even though Cameron Wurf holds the record on the bike course in Kona by a considerable margin, he still sees potential for improvement especially in his riding position.

When Cameron came up to us, we weren’t really sure how to make such a fast man even faster. But the Australian was convinced: “I am sure that you are the right people for the job!” So he paid us a visit in Germany.

After the first tests in the gebioMized concept lab in Cologne and in the velodrome in Büttgen, Wurf was confirmed: “The way that you guys actually spend an entire day saying ‘no, first make sure that’s a position that works for you and then we go and look at the speed’ was really reassuring for me that you weren’t just any other fitting crew.”
